It's very easy to become a parent and very hard to be one of them. Usually young people do not think about consequenses of their actions. Maybe because of that we have so many single teenager mothers. If only they thought not only about love, but about consequences too, they could avoid this problem or would be ready to take care for a baby. In most cases, when a boyfriend hears that his girl is pregnant, he prefers to stay away of this problem and, usually, he trys to break his relationship with her. Therefore, to take care for their baby, she herself has to find a job because she can't study at a school or a college. It is hard to image what she feels after this event or what she alone has to face in her life. We don't know about psychological development of this kid too. We will not be able to fill out an absence of the father in the family by something other...

About age limit of having kids. This question consist two obvious sides. First one is phisical limitation and second one is social. Phisically, any helthy mature person may have kids. It is well known at how early age very young girls were given birth. And there are some amasing facts about ability healthy women to bear children at the time ot their retirement. On the other hand, social part of this problem is more important and difficult. Many people do not have children because of poverty. Other dont want to have any obligation and enjoy their lives without children and so on.In one big contry people are vorbidden to have more than one child. But authority of God is higher. Children have to be born, even if their future mothers are teenagers.

In my opinion,there should be an age limit on when you can have kids.People who are 18 and older are allowed to have kids.First of all,people who are younger than 18 are not serious enough and responsible to take care of kids.For example I know a woman in my native country,who was married at the age of 15.She couldn't handle her kids right.Her aunt always had to teach her how to take care of her children.I think the kids don't care if their parents are old or if their mother is a teenager.The kids want somebody to take care of them and be there for them.I have a friend who is 50 years old and his wife is 38.They are going to have a baby any day this week.My friend is worried that people will think that his newborn son is his nephew because,my friend is bald and looks very old.In my opinion,it it okay to have a baby if you are not too old or too young.

Nobody state the ultimatum of age have a baby. In my opinion, to have a baby under yearly eighteen ages is not thought out step for future baby. I think eighteen years old people are children their Lives just beginning. In addition to raise children parents have to be preparing for that critical step, to be more successful in raising children parent might get an experience like read more books or take the classes, and be educated. From my experience I just may say that at early age (18-19) having kids not difficult because people precisely do not realize what important role they execute in their lives for children. Also, to have a baby parents have to realize that newborn kids sometimes seems as dole and they grow and need to be developed by parents. Kids always give parents a lot of questions and parents have to respond them, so for that parents have to be ready to give right answers. Of course nobody may prohibit having a baby at yearly age but my opinion it’s going to be better to graduate with diploma and have a good job that is also important for parents and kids. Next, to have a baby at late age it’s good for one reason if there are other kids before that child because like many people say it is consolation for my old age. However there might be a risk of women healthy to have a baby, I know that women at forty or older years died with unborn child because of bad healthy. In addition, to have a baby it depends on the every person and his (her) decision.

In my opinion, I think teenagers should not get pregnant, and have children. Mainly because teenagers are children themselves and normally they have to finish high school. Also, babies born to teenage parents normally do not grow up properly. For example, sometimes both parents do not remain together. This creates a different environment then what the child would normally live in (which is usually negative).

Children are blessing, and to have them is nice. They are our future and they will continue to live after us. It is very important not only for us but also for our society and country what children we will have. If you have children you are responsible for them, and bring them up is not easy. It is very serious because you have to take right decisions that your children grow healthy and nice. You need to be educated, and have enough money that your children will be happy, and have everything for their normal life. I do not know how teenage mothers can give a good life and education for their children, if they need education themselves. They do not have enough money, and what life their children will have. I think it is a big problem for our society and we need to do something. We need to tech our children at schools and we need to do everything that avoids having teenage mothers. It is not normal because it reflects on teenage health and their children’s life. Old parents, they usually know what they do. They have money, education. They are mature and they can give a nice life for their children. I read statistics that when parents have children at late age they live longer. They have time and money to bring their children up and give children happy life.

Having a child should be really special for parents. I don’t think there should be a limit but they should know when to have it and when you should not. There is good and bads about having a child when you a teenager or when you are really old. When you a teenager youre boyfriend or girlfriend can break up with you and your child will not have a close relationship with parent because they are not together. And when you are a teenager you have to think about going to school and finishing college. If you have a baby you can not do that. You only have to stay home and take care of your baby. But if you are an older parent, your child might have disorders. They may not be healthy and not live a long life as a mom having their child at around 25 instead of 45. In Vietnam it is normal to have children at a young age. You never see there parents apart though. They are always together and there are not a lot of divorces. The important thing about having children is to know when the right time is.

When to get pregnant is a women's choice,but I think there should be an age limit when a woman is too old or too young to have a baby? I don't think it would be right to put a law on it, but there should be some thought about the future children's life. Once you have a baby you will need to have a good health and a lot of energy to grow up the child. I understand a woman wanting to be a mother, but like the woman in this article: “WORLD'S OLDEST' MOM GAVE BIRTH AT 66, DEAD AT 69; LEAVES BEHIND 2-year-old TWINS”. I don’t think it is fair to the children who will not know their mother for long, how it affected in that case. So, being a mother at old age is a challenge, but being a teenage mother is extra challenging. I think teenage mother are still very young and actually still have lots more to learn about life and parenthood. She has a higher risk of dropping out of school. In my opinion, at first she must graduate and become a responsible adult. Then she can get pregnant and take care of her own baby. Finally, I can’t say how old is too old or too young to be a mother, but I know well that we should be responsible people in our life at any age.

Do you think mother teenage good for child. I think that’s not good with many reasons. First of all, that’s not fair for a child to have a mother teenage. First they don’t have time take of the child because they still go to school. The second they need money but they very hard to find the good job because they don’t have experience and probably they’re not graduate yet. That’s why they don’t have enough money for take care of their child. Their kid probably have problem about health because they don’t have enough functions like adult person. These reasons are not fair for child have to a mother teenage. I think the age 20s to 35s are good for child because their parent s know everything about of life. They can take care of their child for best. The children’s health are good and live longer. That’s why the teenage or the age over 40 don’t need to have a child .that’s not fair for a child.

Definitely is not an age limit to have kids, but it is about tents. In my opinion I do not think that is fair for a child to have a teenage mother because, I don’t think she knows how to be a good parent. She does not have a good job or probably she doesn’t know what work is like. Teen parenting affects your future emotionally, socially, and financially. Stress is an emotional issue that you need to deal with if you are a teen parent. Being a teen parent forces you to grow up faster than ever, even if you yourself aren’t ready for parenthood. When you’re a teen parent, you don’t have as much free time as you used to. Of course some family members will be more than willing to baby-sit for you, but you still have an obligation to fulfill. That person couldn’t go out as much as she used to, and if she did she would bring her child with her to have lunch with a friend. That child needs food, cloths and care. Finally, to be a teen parent is hard.

Personally I think that there should be an age limit on when you should have kids. There is a reason why a person is still developing physically until the age of 25. Studies suggest that it’s best for women to have kids between the ages of 25 and 30. As for men they should be able to support kids financially before have them. Not only that you have to be able to support them, you also have to be able to teach them to live a life. You need to be able to teach them right from wrong and you yourself need to know right from wrong for that matter. I have kids and I know that it’s big responsibility on both of the parents. Since the day they were born they kept us up almost all night until they were 1 and even now we have to get up at night. I think that it takes a young healthy people to have kids. So I think it’s best if you have kids between the age of 25 and 35.

There is no limit age to have kid but It should be better to have kids when a person grow up mentally and physically because bringing a child have big responsibility .Many people have different view on this issue ,depending on their cultures or circumstance. For example, in some culture female teenage force to get married at early age which is wrong .As a result, it is hurt for their life and the baby too, and also some parents push their children to get married at early age .they think so their children life is secure before they get spoiled. On one hand, may be it has good benefit, on other hand it has negative consequence. In addition, unplanned pregnancy is the worst things and in most case, teenagers get into bad situation, and they destroy for their life as well as health of baby. Therefore teenager is not fair to have a kid because in average they are not mature to take responsibility. In my suggestion, should go to school first and learn a lot of interesting things ,when he/she has learn enough , has experienced and start a job. These all are very important for their future life, after that is okay, to have kid. In my personal opinion, to have baby that female should wait until 25 and male is 30.I think that is the right age of maturity and to take responsibility.

In my opinion through personal life experience there should not be a limit as long as children were desired. AS long as the child has a parent that loves them and supports, it is very fair. I think after forty might be a little old because the lack of energy. Too young would be eighteen. I was eighteen when i had my daughter and I knew nothing about life needed my moms help for everything. As i grew older i realize parents need more experience to raise children. If we want a healthy enviroment we need to focus more on our children. LOve is an important energy in life.

Everyone know that there is no limit for people to be a parents. There is no limit for young or old women to give a birth. It depends just from person. There is no right answer to this question, everyone is different. I know some people that did have a child in their early 18's and some people that did have a child in their 40-45's were great parents.

We have a lot of different situations in our world where people have different opinion about “when can you have kids”. I think there is an age limit of when can we have kids. That limit depends on the experience people have and how mature they are. For example, there are teenage moms and they are mature enough to take care of a child. I have seen some people that get married at sixteen and have a child at seventeen and they live happily and in love. So there are teenagers that are mature enough to take care of a child and the husband has to have a good job to be able to support their family. But there is also older people who want to have a child and that’s fine too, but it also depends if they are able to have a healthy child. The other thing is that some older people cannot really take care of the child because of getting old every year and losing the abilities they once had. So I think there could be situation where older people or really young teenagers could take care of a child, but not in all situations.

There should be an age limit on having kids. Some teens are way too young to have kids. Some of them ended up killing their babies and hidden them in the garbage. Teens under age are not satisfied for what’s being a parent. First, being a parent requires lot of responsibility. Also, being a parent requires good family economic background in order to support their kids. Teens are not mature enough for having kids. Therefore, I suggest young parents must meet the age of twenty in order to considering having kids.

To became a father or mother it’s a serious thing in our life. So, young people don’t think about this seriously because they are like a child. Young people have feelings about love but they don’t feel responsibility for child. From that reason, children sometimes grow up without parents. For example, I know the person who had child at age of 15, so now he, and his wife are divorced and their daughter went to the adopted school. What we can say about older people? There is a problem too. For example, my uncle’s daughter was born not healthy, doctors sad that reason was parent’s old age. We can see from these two examples that it's not good for children to give birth them in too young or too old age. In my opinion, parents must be prepared to have a baby, because all people want to have happy and healthy children. Also, I think that women should have a baby from 20-35 because it’s a perfect age to give a birth for a child. We have to think carefully about future of our children. It suppose to be a middle age to have a baby.

I think the best age to star a family is after 20 years old o when you finish the school, when you are ready to share your time with the kids. If you are a mature person and know about responsibilities that is the perfect time. Never is too late to have a kids because if you really want to have a baby and you are responsible, that is the perfect time to do it, I had my first baby after 40, my baby born healthy and now is 1 year old. My baby makes me feel complete because I have the time and all my love to give her.

I think there is no age limit for having a kid or kids. Human being can do whatever we want to do. Sky is the limit. However, having a baby at very young age or at very old age can create some difficulties for parents when they want to teach their children how to live in this world. In general, young people are impatience and don't have enough experience in their life to teach their childeren how to become success full. So, they may not be good parents for their children. They should get trained before got pregnant. On the other hand, most of old people are sick phisically all the time and they might pass away when their childeren are at very young age. Childeren need both of their parents to be around them and support them till they grow up. So, it is not a good idea to have a kid at very old age too. In my opinion, twenty five till fourty is the best year of age for people who want to bring child in this life.

I think if person is ready you don't need age there. One problem is that its easy to make baby but hard to take care of baby and your family. Some people think that girls should be at least 17 years old. It's really important to be responsible for thing's that you do. I think you need to be not to yong and responsible for taking care of futer family. Because some times people love each other to that point were baby comes. After that its over they are not responsible for things they do. Love is gone. You need to be smart and responsible.

I think this doesn't depends from our desire.Too many people desire to have a child but they can't have.Many people want to have one child,many people more than fife or more.Twenty and twenty one centuries is ttime when children are undesirable.Every family make a plan that when they can have a child,not when GOD give as a gift.We live in a very bad time.We killed children don't think that we becom a killer.I think that it doesn't matter how many and when children are born,it a gift from GOD, and we must be plessed of their appearance.

I think become a mom or dad is very special. So i think there are no age limit to have kid. Couple can have children at any age they want. However it is not just about ahving kids they have to be responsible for their kids. it's not good to have kids so early like under 21 years old or having kids when they are too old like over 50 years old. Young peole or teenager have not have any experient in life or jod to take care of the family and the baby. Or older people, they have everything to give the baby , they can take care of their kids but it will not good for your health and they may not stay with thier kid very long. I think better to have baby when they are finish with school, have a job so that way they can take better care of the family and the baby.

Is there an age limit on when you can have kids? What i think is that yes there is an age limit when you can have kids. I would never want to have a very young mother or very old mother.When people have kids when they are like 50 years old than their kids will be kind of slow but i heard that they live till like 90 years, some live even more. I just think that 17 year old girl can't take good care of the baby because she's just to young for that. She still wants to hang out with her friends and have some fun but not to sit home and watch the baby and stuff like that. I think the best time to have kids is like 22 till like 35 or something.
